The city was named after John Hancock.

Hancock, Michigan Video

Here is a cool youtube video from www.free-digital-photography-tips.com, of the monster truck called Brutus crashing after taking a jump over some crushed cars. This video was taken in August of 2001 at the Houghton County Fair in Hancock Michigan. Brutus is a fan favorite because the driver goes all out and puts the pedal to the metal and flies over the cars, which often results in some great crashes as you see in the video. Check it out and checkout our website www.free-digital-photography-tips.com. Thanks for looking, take care, B&B

In English and Finnish The greatest concentration of Finnish Americans is in Michigan Upper Peninsula. One of the most puzzling things about The Upper Peninsula is that Finnish-Americans still cherish their roots. The opening of several copper mines in the area brought thousands of Finnish emigrants in the area between 1900 and 1910. The descendants of those early Finns still live in the area and many of them speak Finnish, even though they may have never even visited Finland. Andrea tells me though, that it is a tradition among these Finns to make at least once-in-a-lifetime sojourn to the land of their ancestors. We met local Finnish retirees at Suomi Restaurant in Hancock. They came from various backgrounds, having made their careers in business, civil engineering and farming. They have also kept their forefathers' faiths, whether Lutheran or Laestadian. Most of the footage was taken at Hancock, Michigan, a city of 4600 residents on the North shore of Portage Lake. It also has the title of the northernmost City in Michigan. Finnish influence in Hancock is everywhere. One can see it just by walking down its streets. The street signs are both in English and Finnish, and there are Finnish flags in each street corner. I would soon learn, that many of the locals also speak Finnish.

Many Chicagoans believe the best views of their city are found not from the observation deck of the city's tallest building, the Willis (Sears) Tower, but from the top of the John Hancock Center at 875 N Michigan Ave on the Magificent Mile. Although the Hancock Center has an observation deck, many visitors choose choose to take in the scenes with a drink or a meal at the building's Signature Room and Lounge. The Signature Room is a restaurant located on the 95th floor; the lounge, located on the 96th floor, has a bar and serves a variety of appetizers. Joe Askins of YoChicago.com and NewHomeNotebook.com visited the Signature Lounge in early July 2009 and shot some footage of the views to the north, west, and south.
